Ice in the cove

You've seen this pic before,this is the little cove where I collect kelp/seaweed for my garden.It seems the ice pan's have taken a like'n to it to.

 Here's a pile of kelp /seaweed composting away  at the beach.It's a nice size pile,just a bit is showing out of the snow.

Food for the soil

Fall is a busy time in the nl kitchen garden,one job is gathering kelp/seaweed to add to the soil for next year.After a couple of windy days this kelp was torn from the bottom and washed up on the beach.When I see this happen I'm always reminded of a few lines I read in the book Moonfleet years ago.."blow wind.. rise storm..ship ashore before morn".
